According to the Trades Union Congress (TUC) over 1 million skilled jobs could be created if green technologies are embraced in the UK.

Recent research has found that the UK is still lagging behind other European countries like Germany and Spain in terms of solar and wind power production. In the UK there are definitely the resources available for us to thrive in these areas.

The UK already has a great selection of top class green manufacturing companies. If heavy investment in the future is put into green technology then the UK could easily become a world leader.

Current employers also need to start considering the benefits of adopting green initiatives such as electrical or mobile recycling.
